China Glaze in Full Spectrum Review

China Glaze in Full Spectrum

Hello sweeties,

I am stuck with exams but I seriously am not a girl who can study the whole day, I can study for maximum 4 hours in the entire day and beyond that it becomes unbearable and I just fall off to sleep and don’t seem to get up till the exam time in the morning. But I have to refresh myself everyday by reading your beautiful reviews and sharing some too. So this is another nail paint of the 2 nail colours that I got from China glaze prismatic spring collection. Let’s see how this one looked on me.

Price: Rs 600 for 14 ml

Product description by China glaze:

Inspired by the colors formed by the refraction of light through a prism, Prismatic by China Glaze combines glitter and holographic particles to create the ultimate eye-catching, 3-dimensional manicure.
Full spectrum- Pink glimmers hint of purple filled with pink, yellow, silver, orange and green flecks.

My experience with China glaze in full spectrum

Actually at the time of getting these I somehow decided to get two but it wasn’t really necessary getting these because just the glaze is different, the base looks almost the same. Full spectrum belongs to the range called “China glaze prismatic spring collection”. I had many shades to choose from but I was confused between blue and pink and breaking the confusion I picked up both. The shades from this range are all glittery ones with a hint of colour in it and have 6 shades to choose from. Basically all the shades revolve somewhere around silver but give a light shine of the colour it contains. This nail paint comes in a big China glaze trademark bottle and has a sparkly grey cap which exactly compliments the shade in the bottle. It is travel friendly but a little huge and heavier than our normal sized nail enamels.

Talking about the shade this basically looks silver but it actually gives a pink glaze and shine. So I would call it the pink one in order to distinguish it with the others shades. I think it has multi-coloured glitter particles but more of blue and dark pink particles but there are also some very tiny particles in pink. It also has some orange and green flecks but very little in quantity so they do not make a major change in the shade. The consistency is beautiful and the nail enamel can be applied with ease. A good amount of 2-3 coats are required for the colour to appear opaque as in one coat is appears a little transparent. The best part about this is quick drying because I just cannot stand nail paints that dry up after half an hour.

It dries up in about 7-8 minutes which is pretty fast. After application it looks amazing and gorgeous. It is a bit matte and I always apply a top coat on it to seal on the glitter and also to provide a dazzling shine. This is a perfect one for clubbing because the real glaze and sparkle is seen during the night time. One of the major cons with this is the removal part. The nails have to be rubbed abrasively with nail polish remover for 10 to 12 times for this nail paint to actually come off since the particles are pretty hard and then too the glitter particles are stuck here and there on my hand which is pretty annoying. So I always keep this for a week and only then remove it because it is a tedious job. It has hardeners too which help maintain the strength of the nails and does not let it break easily and the nail paint remained as it is for a week after sealing it with top coat.So on a good note I would say that this is a great brand to invest in and this doesn’t get over soon, so look out for the shades you like!

Cons of China Glaze in Full Spectrum

-The colour is a bit matte and a top coat has be used on it to make it look very glossy
-The removal part is a tedious job because it took more time than applying nail paint; the particles are sticky and big so the nails have to be rubbed roughly and that might chip the nails
-Expensive

Will I recommend/repurchase China Glaze in Full Spectrum?

Yes, I do recommend this as this collection is very pretty and looks great and unique. The drying time is amazing and looks alluring on the nails. I will want to try some matte shades from China glaze as I already have to glittery ones. But just don’t buy two shades from the 6 because they look same, what else you can do is apply a base colour like hot pink and top it up with this one which would make it even more eye catching.
